Work Location: Virginia (see my wife's travel log).
Quickly ported parts of the original in-house app to the new service. Got to the point of implementing editing features and realized that I had to tackle a whole new area: security. As a "back-end" developer I have never really dealt with front-end security. Time to learn.
Got a certificate from A2Hosting.com so that https:// (port 443) would work. Built user registration and login.
Refactored what I had written several times as I learned more about Rails, security, etc.
Played around with the "ActionMailer" for the first time. Very cool. Very easy.
My first implementation of unit tests under Rails. Very handy facility.
I've spent a lot of time playing around with CSS for the first time in my life. And in upgrading my HTML skills. I fear I tend to do many things in the old fashioned (i.e., deprecated) way. The W3C XHTML 1.0 Strict validations have been an eye opener, also. Started doing validations when pages started coming out scrambled at display time.
I still cannot find a way to reliably put the footer exactly where I want it at the bottom of the page. I probably need to delve even deeper into CSS, and to get rid of tables as a page layout tool.
